This is the golden rule. Always do revision. You can even do revision twice. Just make sure that everything is straightened in your head.
Also, learn grammar.
So the pattern should be:
@ Read the English for the meaning and repeat the phrase and learn it, memorize it.
@ Revise the next day and learn something new.
Say it so many times until it becomes second nature.
When you shadow the other books do the same thing. Always revise. Test on the same day and then test later on the next day. Always revise no matter what, and always go from English to Korean.
Going very well. Everyone comments that you have improved a lot. Just in about eight months, you have learned a lot. Now all you have to do is go through more phrases and pick up more vocabulary from reading difficult stuff, and also read easy stuff for fun. Read a lot and your Korean will improve. Now, you are getting pronunciation.
This is very good. Just a little study every day and you are doing very well. The other thing you have to do is do a bit of reading and translating. Look at the Korean Herald articles. They are useful. Go from English to Korean. You can even do some writing exercises as well. These Korean Herald articles are good teaching materials actually for everyone. I should really try and scan them and do OCR for them. OCR is URGENT actually. I can get many good phrases from them.
I wonder if I can get those articles for free from the Internet?
I should learn from English to Korean but the students can learn from Korean to English. I can get them to use these phrases after learning them off by heart. If they learn about ten of these every lesson, after about 20 lessons they will have learned about 200 of these. That's about in a month. After six months they will have learned about 1200 of these. That's a lot. I can do the same as well. If I learn about 20 new words a day and about ten new phrases a day from the newspaper then after six months, I will know 1200 expressions and 2400 new vocabulary. That will be great. I really need to learn vocabulary and start reading easy translated Korean. I wonder where the translated easy readers are like the WOW comics. I love the WOW comics. So I will data mine these books for useful chunks.
I should just build up a library of useful chunks.
It's really helpful to learn all these useful phrases. I am progressing quite well. I think I should study the WOW comics more. I should also study the newspapers a lot.
